• team check in
• introduce david c as potential producer-consultant
• over the course of the next month, we should start talking through episode themes: bitsii to lead— feel free to use the community discord as well to formally introduce yourselves if you want to ping the community about it!
  • optional may event (during hackathon) to also introduce the docu-series to the community + brainstorm a bit about that

• introduction to moka, who will be our local coordinator
  • general introduction to series, introduce each team member
  • how would the komoro city hall like to be involved?
  • verify estimated timeline: any cool things happening in between oct 15-nov 15 when the filming dates will be?
  • what’s the logistical process like? it’d be great to verify filming / site permissions, and ask what is required for these things; ie do we need to also send a kikakucho ahead of time?
  • we are still verifying themes, and will get back to them about this so we can ask about specific people that would be helpful to connect to 🙂
• what might be helpful is: list of everyone i’m thinking of interviewing (and places) - or archetypes; we will follow up when we get the story forms

moka chat

• moka will be officially joining as local coordinator! (approved + part of her job in city hall)
  • moka can also help attend some meetings / interviews. this will add a lot of reputability as she works in the city hall - we can send her a list of scenes ahead of time to get people recs + permit help from moka
    • she will also ask for more formal support from city hall
    • TODO: we should prepare a movie plan document (tonde?) including themes, subject archetypes, locations for our next meeting - she can also help scout for us
  • her senpai can help recommend good connection w local people of hishino / hishidaira
    • this will be good content!
    • senpai is v connected in hishino
• brainstorming komoro events during filming
  • lantern festival (秋灯り小諸) - komoro has huge passion for festival
  • lots of fruits: dry persimmons (干し柿) + apple (りんご)
  • komoro soba (そば)- new drop during this time
  • and NOVELS events
• permissions: ask before taking video for city hall (just saying is fine)
  • if you need to book a road / stop a car, we will need to coordinate w her + police
  • specific sites: need to reach out + ask them for permissions; would be helpful to get support from city hall
    • city hall / moka will ask the train station if they can film for unmanned shop (vegetables)
  • permissions at festivals: good to ask / ask just in case (we will take a picture), but people dont care
• open qs from michelle: what was the thing @Liam Clancy mentioned?: mugen hainai?
